It depends upon whether or not the 6 months from the time of service or response by the other party has run. If more than 6 months has passed then the Judgment will become final immediately. If it has not, then it will not be final until the six month's has expired.

Technically no but I always recommend at least 24 hours.

You can re-marry once you receive a document from the court entitled Notice of Entry of Judgment. It will have a date on it that your divorce is final. You can re-marry any time after that date.

Not really but you are better off if you wait 30 days or so because of the appeal period for a final judgment.

The divorce is effective upon the entry of the order, read that the judge signing it. After that you are single and free to remarry.

I believe that once a Final Judgment of Dissolution is entered and the divorce is final, you may remarry. I would suggest, however, that you double check this with the County Clerk that issues marriage licenses.
